Q:

The longest side of a triangle is six more units than the shortest side. The third side is twice the length of the shortest side. If the perimeter of a triangle is 25 units write and solve an equation to find the length of all three sides of the triangle.

Accepted Solution

A:
The longest side if a triangle is six units more than the shortest side. The other is twice the length of the shortest side. P=25. Solve all three sides. Please help with this. ... on the shortest side.Then the longest side is X + 6 and the other side is 2X. The sum of all sides equals the perimeter which equals 25.The largest side of a triangle is six more units than the smaller side
s + 6 = the largest side,and the third side is twice the smallest side2s = the third side,and the perimeter of the triangle is 25 units what would be and good equation to find the length of all three sides?s + (s+6) + 2s = 25
